Hey there, folks. I went two public tonight functions with tons and tons of people. I went to our community tree lighting ceramony. That was loads of fun! There was a singing group there in 1800's English attire, lots of hot cider, lights, and about 400 people. I was wearing my Black Stewart kilt, matching tartan tie, white shirt, black leather duster, green socks, and matching flashes. I got a comment from a 4 year old girl wanting to know why I was wearing a skirt. Her mommy shushed her. I said "No, it's OK." And I proceeded to explain to her what a kilt is. She thought it was really cool when I was done telling her about my family history, and she wanted to know if she had any Celt in her. I later went to the singing group and asked them if the knew Auld Lang Syne in honor of St Andrew. The guy I asked said "We're English!" I told him "That's OK- I'll forgive you. But do you know the song?" Of course they didn't, but oh well.
Then off to the Christmas party for my mom's church choir. One of the attendees was a McFarlane. We got to talking about our family histories and such. He had no idea what his family tartan looked like, so I directed him to our lovely little community here and told him that there were tons of resources to be found here that would help to see his tartan, and get a kilt in it. So all in all, it was a good time! What did everyone else do this evening?
